Watch with reflectional questions

The Human Aspect of Jan Egil

After my mother's death by suicide, I felt guilty and deprived of meaning. Moving to my father and continuing life with him and my brother, I got further into my shell and suppressed my feelings and grief. Once I started working, I placed my entire value on my performance and before I knew it I had my own family and carried a massive emptiness inside. The following years were a roller coaster of darkness and turnarounds, but my own suicidal thoughts kept haunting me.
